So.
I've had this CB250RS sitting around the workshop for a few years now. I never got chance to do anything with it after buying it and no one wanted to buy it off me.
I have decided to give it a new lease of life and try take it racing in a 250 Singles class somewhere, some how. ( If not, ill take it on some trackdays, just for the hell of it ). It has a V5 and a plate so it could also be put back on the road.

I had never heard it run or even tried. So I took the top end off to check. The cam looks like it has been starved slightly at some point in its life but looks salvageable. If not, ill get some shells put into the head instead. The big end is fine as is the bore and piston. Most of the rocker cover threads are stripped, which is nothing new on these engines.
After this the bike was torn down to the frame and sent away for blasting and powdercoating. No real nasties found other than the 2 rear engine mount bolts snapped upon removing the engine.
Back from the coaters and with the forks built up, new taper roller headstock bearings installed, new swingarm needle roller bearings also installed ( I have left the footpegs off for now as I am drawing up some rearsets to be waterjet cut for the bike). This is how it currently sits....

DO NOT RACE THIS BIKE
Make it all nice and roadworthy , then give it to me
So sad to think that this will be thrashed to within an inch of it`s life on a race track and then scrapped ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

There is still loads of these things around.
I dont really scrap bikes, they just end up in bits and get used to build other bikes. I have a TZR125R in bits that I've sold enough bits off of to double my money on, so the rest of it gets used to create other machines. The front brembo MC and the quick action throttle will be used on this 250 for example.... ____________________ Suzuki GT250 x7------- Fazer 600------CB250RS------Aprilia Rally 70----- Bandit 600

Engine meets frame.
One wheel built with new seals, bearings and a Sava race tyre. ( Seen in background ).
Only get the odd hour after work at the moment to do anything so it will be very slow going. ____________________ Suzuki GT250 x7------- Fazer 600------CB250RS------Aprilia Rally 70----- Bandit 600
